Not that a lot of us care about this sort of thing, but how many of these do you own? I own 3 (plan to get 3 more). I'm so out of touch with the current music machine, ha...

Wow, Susan Boyle beat Slim Shady.

50 out of the Top 100, which is where I stopped counting.

I only have 2 on the list.....Paul McCartney CitiField and Exile On Main Street (never knew old records were considered part of these lists).

There are a couple others with greatest hits CDs I don't have since I have most of the regular albums (Bob Marley, CCR).

Thanks Linda, that makes counting easier. Grand total: 91 of 200.

No Zappa?

Only 3 out of 200 -

Hendrix title, McCartney title and the Stones.

Between my wife and I we have 13.

25. And I'm horrified it's that many.

Two from the top 10 (Ladies Antebellum and Gaga) and 36 overall for me.

Out of 200? 6.

The Exile On Main Street remaster
Paul at Citifield
Muse/ Resistance
Tom Petty/ MOJO
Linkin Park/ A Thousand Suns
Kate Perry/ Teenage Dream (for my daughter)

That top 10 is a real dead zone other than a few songs by Lady GaGa and that one single by The Black Eyed Peas.
Nothing pops out on that list for me that I need.


btw....I'm not counting old releases like Journey's Greatest Hits or Guns N Roses Greatest Hits.

Four.

Katy Perry, Godsmack, Avenged Sevenfold and McCartney. I really only saw a few others that I would consider getting, and maybe one or two I was surprised I didn't own.

If you know offhand, Jimbo, is this about the same percentage as past years? A little less than half?

Probably, for 2000-2010. More, for other decades.

And thats probably only a fraction of all the CDs Jimbo bought this year since it only includes the top selling discs.
I wonder what the whole total is this year?

I probably bought just under 100 CDs this year.... a real low point.

89 for me...need to rush out and buy a few more before Jimbo does!

Seriously, there are two reasons why my number is that high...there are a lot of older reissues in there and I have two teenage kids. Otherwise, my numbers would be way down given that list.

Oh add another, I do have Pearl Jam/ Backspacer.

Surprising that Owl City made it that high on the basis of a single track!

It is amazing how poorly some albums sold, like the Katie Perry. You'd think that would be top ten.

I bought two from that list. A couple others, like Thriller, I already owned.

Kings Of Leon – Only By The Night
AC/DC – Iron Man 2 Soundtrack

That list is a bit flawed. Some of the titles are ancient.
